Yes it's already thawed. What injection do you suggest?
Is it thawed? lol
T-1 is late for brining, imo. :) Inject, if thawed, and smoke away. I don't brine my 'enhanced' birds.
If not thawed, cold water method. Do NOT put a semi-frozen bird into any cooking apparatus. EVER!
Happy Thanksgiving, and God bless.

'Ashtray' nasty, or 'can't bite through it' nasty? :)Injecting is the way to go, that way the flavoring makes it into the meat. The last couple turkeys I smoked, the skin came out pretty nasty.

Many swear by the pan method. I've done it both ways with good results. I prefer a pan on big bird to catch the drippings for gravy juice AND to keep the bottom of the smoker cleaner. I do put a rack in the pan though to keep the bird from sitting in it's grease and throw an onion or two around the sides with maybe a carrot & some celery as well. Clean up is a snap using a disposable pan and you can put it on the range to make the gravy if you're careful.....Willie
when i put it on the smoker can i just cover it in butter then bacon on top like in the oven? Would you put it in a roasting pan?
Low temp. Finish those. :) Crisps the skin, but requires vigilance.It was really rubbery. Once I pulled on a small piece of it, the whole thing came loose so I just pulled it all off and tossed it.
